Mr. Chair, we have just moved on to another subject, but before I turn to the motion, I would like to return to my previous question, to which I have not received a reply. I have allowed others to speak, but, with all due respect to Ms. Desrochers, she is not a minister, and my question was addressed to you, Mr. Chair.
I fear we may not have time to discuss the timetable, and I want to make sure I receive an answer to my question: Will the ministers indeed be appearing to give evidence separately, for two hours each, as the motion requests?
As I said, we received a response from the minister’s office stating that Public Services and Procurement Canada had a limited role and that the minister’s appearance would add no value to the meeting. However, at this point, it is fair to say that the government is attempting to downplay the matter. To shed light on this, I put the question to you again: Can we ensure that the motion adopted by the committee will be respected?
